Welcome to Reid Memorial Mother’s Day Out & Preschool, where we have been serving the Augusta area for 50 years! Here at Reid, we strive to teach, support, and care for your child through the love of Jesus Christ every day. Our teachers are dedicated to helping your child grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, as well as spiritually.

Here are a few things that make our program special:
  • Loving Christian care with emphasis on socialization and learning
  • Several Class Choices to fit your schedule
  • Experienced, loving teachers
  • Age-appropriate, hands-on learning and Bible based curriculum
  • Circle time, free play, crafts, story time, music, lunch, and recess
  • Chapel time – fun songs and Christian learning
  • GROW – a movement class focusing on large motor development and healthy habits
  • Music Class
  • Snack and mealtime with friends (parents provide a healthy lunch)

As a staff, we participate in ongoing professional development that allows us to stay current with the changes in education. We are always looking for ways to improve and provide the best possible service to you and your child. Safety is our number one concern. We participate in quarterly fire drills, practice routine emergency preparedness plans, and all staff are CPR and First Aid certified. We also use a phone app to provide quick and secure communication between teachers and parents.

We are excited to begin our 50th school year and would love to have you and your child on this journey with us. Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have about our program. At Reid Memorial we are dedicated to providing the best quality care to our students and their families. Come grow with us at Reid!
